Reproduction and Development

Pastor Jimmy and I recently went to a church leadership conference that focused on creating reproducing movements. A want to share a few of our notes from the conference. Pastor Jimmy shared these with our small group leaders this past Wednesday night and challenged each leader to develop new leaders by Labor Day.

As a continuance of this effort I want to challenge each of our children’s small group leaders and Sunday School teachers to do the same. I know that many of our leaders are operating in classes that are beyond a capacity where we like to be. Ideally we like to operate in a 1:8 ratio, that is one leader for every 8 children.

Please read these notes below and begin praying about who you can bring under your wing and begin apprenticing. I would to see each of our Children’s Sunday School classes reproduce by Labor Day. I would love for our children to be able to receive more individual attention within their classes and have a deeper more meaningful relationship with their teachers.

Our mission: developing children in Christ

4 Reproducing principles

1. Reproducing requires everyone to have an apprentice

2. Reproducing is proactive not reactive

3. Reproducing is not about size it’s about leader readiness.

4. Reproducing is not about our kingdom it’s about God’s kingdom

You can do this!

The Five Steps of Leadership Development

Come follow me:

1. I do.  You watch.  We talk.

• Three simple ?’s:
  • What worked?
  • What didn’t work?
  • How can we improve?  (continue this throughout the process)

2.  I do.  You help.  We talk.

3.  You do. I help.  We talk.

• Release responsibilities to the new leader

4.  You do.  I watch.  We talk.

5.  You do.  Someone else watches.
